TEC Saskatoon hosts Mighty Workshop
Wednesday, November 2, 2016. Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada. The Executive Committee presents a Mighty event based on Mighty Midsized Companies: How Leaders Overcome 7 Silent Growth Killers.
TEC brings together the best business leader minds to get beyond individual capabilities to achieve more than you ever thought possible. If you’re interested in gaining acumen, cultivating change, developing realistic foresight and rising to new heights, then TEC is the place for you.
For an executive team, the excitement of leading a steadily or rapidly growing midsized firm can be exhilarating – that is, until growth grinds down to a halt. In this presentation, Robert Sher explores how seven silent growth killers have derailed midsized firms based on his years of research on more than 100 companies. He then shows how executives can overcome or avoid them altogether.
Silent growth killers are hard-to-detect pitfalls that drain momentum and energy, stop growth and sometimes put a firm out of business. The impact of the growth killers is unique to midsized companies. Small, venture-funded companies don’t typically suffer from them, and while they do strike big companies, they typically have the financial and managerial strength to survive them. These challenges create ideal conditions for the emergence of seven silent growth killers, nasty pitfalls that drain a firm’s momentum, energy, and viability.
Illustrating the seven silent growth killers through real examples, Robert explains how chief executives can protect their companies from them or avoid them altogether.
What you will learn:
- Why the seven silent growth killers are much bigger risks for midsized companies
- How to identify the growth killers early
- Ways to survive them with tried-and-true methods
- How to steer clear of the killers altogether
